Rafa's falling over and Stan is whipping winners. It's beginning to look a bit hapless and clumsy down Rafa's end. Worse than the Madrid final? maybe not...

No its not that bad. He's awfully passive. In Madrid the shanks were a whole lot worse. But maybe he's avoiding the shanks.

4 - 1 . Wawrinka is about to confirm that AO 2014 was not a fluke.

In fairness, there's not much in common between the two matches, and a lot of distance in between...

People are also starting to figure out that you need to attack Nadal's forehand. Novak started it.

I'm genuinely surprised to see Nadal go down in such a way after losing the TB in such a way. Not over yet but still... Nadal FO stock to fall again if he loses this set and match.

Yes, he is playing pretty well. But he is also playing a pusher formally known as Nadal.
